Is the Oneplus X a worthy replacement for a S4

Options
Hi Everyone

I currently have an S4 on a SIMO and now looking to replace it. I have read a lot about the Oneplus x (Oneplus 2 is a tad too large unless people feel it is worth a go).

Is there anyone out there that has made the transition from S4 to Oneplus X who would share pros, cons etc.

Also being a dual SIM I might consider dropping my work SIM in as well. How do people find using the dual SIM function. If I am using with car handsfree and I set to always ask, how does this work when I initiate a call from the dashboard?

Many thanks in advance

    I've got a OnePlus 2 after being a OnePlus One user and I can't fault either phone (although not used a Oneplus X). The Dual sim function has been good when abroad as I use a three PAYG sim for data in Spain and the US and it's saved me a fortune.

    It's a bit of a hassle when making calls from the dashboard (although I rarely do it and may have the wrong set up) as it won't automatically call from voice, but forces you to choose which sim to call from on the phone.

    Honestly though I can't see the point in expensive handsets these days. There are also good deals on Sim Free LG G4 with ebuyer, and it might be worth looking at Wileyfox Storm or Sprint as they are also getting excellent reviews, are cheaper than One X and have dual sim function.

    Thanks for this.

    If I do order a Oneplus X, how is delivery from time of order?

    No idea on delivery at the moment as I preordered my OP2 with an invite. It only took days though from the point where it was despatched to the point of delivery.
